Double Your Trouble With Pattern Clashing                  2012 Fall Fashion Trends  

9/29/2012

Fall is finally here and it's time to show off the newest trends for this cooling season. These include Pattern/Color clashing, Structured bags, Leather, and Metalic shoes. These are just a few of my favorite fall fashions that you can easily work into your wardrobe and carry it into winter season. I will blog about one trend at a time starting with color/patter clashing. This one is I think is the most intimidating trend and most difficult to pull off.

Pattern/Color Clashing
 
This trend slowly creeped in mid summer and carried over to fall with a big bang.  Mixing patterns & contrasting colors will bring zestful life to anyones wardrobe.   Play with pops of color and daring patterns. The key to making this look sheek, not like you got dressed in the dark half asleep. Pairing two patterns can be tricky at first. You want to make sure that the patterns are different. Examples of this would be a floral piece paired with stripes, paisely with plaid, tye die with print, etc. The color combinations don't have to match but for beginners it's best to start that way.  By coordinating color tones with the patterns and adding one matching solid you will easily pull this off.  Your hosery/tights are also a great place to add that second clashing pattern.  Don't put away those summer florals or bright colors. You can easily utilize those pieces pairing it up with fall shades or simply black.  layering is great with this look but can be tricky. Make sure you are able to see all of your layers. This will help you avoid looking too bulky, orlook as if you are showing off your entire closet like a bag lady. Here are a few of my personal tips to help you pull this sassy combo look.

Layering - I'm the biggest fan of this but it is very easy to get carried away and appear heavy. To be successful with this start with the fitted, lighter fabrics adding the bigger, thicker, or loose fitting pieces. Keeping in mind that all layers should be visible. Layering was the most flattering look for me when I was pregnant, so it works for all shaps and sizes.  

Jewelry - Adding jewelry will be the icing on the cake with this look, but overkill will be disatrious. If you decide to layer your jewelry simplicity is best. But if you so desperately want to wear a bold signature piece such as a necklace try skipping the earings. If you must keep it simple with small stud earings or delicate dangles.  Layering multiple rings, necklaces, bracelets can be done (a current 2012 trend). The easiest pieces to layer with are the thinner more delicate pieces of jewelry. Think Skinny.  With rings the best for layering on one finger are the thin ones. If you want to add more accessories do the same, fine bracelets, skinny necklaces, delicate earings...etc.  You can layer multiple peices with this strategy.  You may see others layering outside of this context. I'm not saying that it doesn't work This is just a tool for the newbies to use. Layering with big and bold pieces works buts it's best with using the motto less is more. Pairing big pieces with small ones is also doable when you keep the balance. For example wearing two big pieces with two thin pieces, three big pieces and three thin pieces, etc.   
I would love to see some of your pattern combinations so feel free to share!
